Re: Flash and PGML

[John Croteau]

Hi Chris,


 I voted twice to see if there were any safe-guards to prevent someone

from using the back button and recheck his choice over and over again. I

did this to see if there was any reason to consider results of the poll

seriously from a statistical point of view. My second vote was actually

for a partner of mine. In any case, from a statistical point of view the

poll has no real value no matter how large its sampling.

The poll is just a bit of fluff, to have some fun, it shouldn't be taken

seriously.


PGML is just a proposal, but I hope that MM, MS, Netsacape, Adobe and

others will wait until a PGML standard is set before they implement

variations of this new standard. Once a standard is set Dreamweaver,

Flash, Freehand and other graphics programs can all be set-up to

generate PGML compatible code as an option. You will certainly be able

to use many regular graphics programs to draw PGML code. Whether or not

a particular vendor provides that option for their software will be up

to them.


I don't foresee the Flash binary format being replaced by PGML but

rather co-existing. And with some luck Flash will become the vector

graphics format. PGML is not a graphics format, it is a markup language

(a set of instructions to implement a graphic display).
